The new tenth edition of Kottak's best selling text for general anthropology continues to offer a holistic introduction to anthropology that approaches the course from a four-field perspective. The new, tenth edition is a major revision offering many new and exciting features that build on the strengths of this approach. The text has two new themes - "Bringing it all Together" and "Understanding Ourselves." The "Bringing it all Together" theme, emphasizing anthropology's integrated, comparative and four-field nature, can be found in new "Bringing it all Together" essays that show how anthropology's subfields and dimensions combine to interpret and explain a common topic.
